Traffic Analysis
We do analyze traffic to this site. We collect statistical data on an aggregated basis, through a “Log Analysis” program of site statistics. For example, we collect data such as the domain names of servers that bring visitors to our site and the search terms that were used to help visitors find our site, and we count the number of visitors and keep track of where they go on our site. Such information allows us to find out what areas users visit most frequently and what services they access the most, which enables us to create a better overall experience for our users.
Cookies
To gather traffic analysis data as referenced above, we use “cookie” technology which collects data in aggregate form, not by individual user. Browser cookies are small data files stored by your browser that differentiate users and maintain data related to users during navigation. The cookies placed by our server do not gather personal information about you, do not provide any way for us to contact you, and do not get information about your computer; they simply allow us to enhance our site by letting us know what sections are visited most frequently. The use of cookies is common on the Internet and our use of them is similar to that of other reputable online organizations.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.
